Ode to the Roach

[coleopteran]

Oh glorious feeder who doth reproduce in bounds,
I watch thee roach as you scurry around.
You feed upon fruit, your flesh to sweeten,
You are thrown in a cage your flesh to be eaten.

 

[8by8]

LOL. Got one about the spider eating the roach?

 

[Galapoheros]

Haha, just made up a shorty too:

Oh vehicle of nourishment,
pain for you I never meant.
You and I have the same fate.
Hopefully the best thing another bug ever ate!

 

[Moltar]

I have a haiku... it's not quite as flowery though.

Plucked from humble home
strange smells, something large moving
you cannot escape

Invertebrate Poem:

Rose hairs are Red
Violaceus are Violet
Sing-sings are Blue
Mantids can B Green , what color R U

 

[Moltar]

wiggly antennae
feet with spikes, they poke, yikes!
but fangs are sharper

 

[sharpfang]

"In the Desert, the mighty Desert....the Scorpion, Stings Tonight!"

Poor Roaches Funny thing is......They'll likely get the Last laugh

Breaching hemocoel runs green

Roach Rhymes

The Itsy-Bitsy-Spider, climbed up the aquarium Glass
Down came the Human hand, A roach it had Clasped
Up came the Fangs, and into roach it Grasped
Out came some Fluid, that dried w/ Oxygen, then....
Back went the Tarantula, 2 wait 4 it 2 happen Again

Sorry if that was way 2 corny......I am Not in top form Today - JJ

Ahhh yes, the five syllable word, holy grail of haikuists the world over.




brave new expanse
this world, 'tis mine to explore
what is down this hole?

 

[zonbonzovi]

Beautiful, madames & sirs! I can only do free verse:

O dearest Blattaria
Singing your aria
What dost thou nibble?
Fruit and cat kibble?

O winged beast!
Older than time
A spider feast?
Or reason to rhyme?

I'm glad my numbing boredom has led to more than the original few minutes of distraction. Keep it going peoples.

Oh rinky-dink shelves bestacken aplenty
Accomidate accumul-arachnids a-gently
Provided precarious Potential is present
the populous prodigious Progenic is plesent.

Real Haiku. You Japanese? Is it hard to get Ts there?

Some really good ones here lol.

I'm just studying here, I'm American. I haven't seen any Ts for sale here, but I couldn't get any anyway because we're not allowed to have pets in the dorm.

 

[Stopdroproll]

Ah, must be different. Even though I'm Chinese, I'm not sure if I could get myself to study there. School here is tough and I imagine school in a foreign country may be more difficult. Kudos to those who can do it.

 

[violentblossom]

OMG, I love these. XD

 

[Moltar]

sixty spiders here
big fangs, itch, bad attitude
guests fear roaches, why?

The soil pulsating.
Baby roaches dig, eating.
Fat roach, spider feast.
